Ecoflow's River 2 support fast charging as well. Its depleted battery cells can be fully replenished in just an hour, which is faster than charging than most tablets or phones. Like with many pricier power stations, you can also use a solar panel to charge it or plug it to your car supply.

Managing the plugged devices and the power station itself is through the intuitive mobile app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. There's also a front-facing LCD screen that displays info like charging speed and remaining battery capacity.

In addition to the long lifespan of the lithium iron phosphate cells (LFP) of the River 2, it also comes with a 5-year service warranty for added piece of mind.
